In the year of 1893, the institution known as Dundee F.C. was founded, laying its roots deep into the Scottish soil. The hallowed grounds of Dens Park, their home since inception, echo with the storied history of the club.
With a squad valuation on the north side of five and a half million quid (£6m) (Transfermarkt), one might posit that the Dee are not a financial heavyweight in the grand scheme of football's monetised madness. However, the figure merely reflects the net worth of the squad, not its potential or passion.
Comprising a modest roster of 30 players, the average age in the Dundee ranks is a sprightly 24 years. One might consider this a side brimming with youthful exuberance, ready and able to take on the challenges ahead.
The current campaign sees the Dee citizens having rolled up their socks in three separate competitions, thus far. On home soil, they currently find themselves nestled in the eighth position of the Premiership. The chilly waters of the League Cup saw them progress to the Group C stage. Meanwhile, their boots have also left imprints on the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup's pitch.
